Pumpkin & Coconut Soup

Winter is definitely a season that can get you down. But one thing that always picks me is some good ol’ homemade soup. It’s hard to go past pumpkin soup, which is so filling, warming and just plain delicious. It’s also so cheap to make – so long as you have a pumpkin on hand, I find that you can basically throw in any of the previous weeks vegetables into the pot and it just adds to the substance and nutritional value.
